She lived with her parents and her little sister.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')She eagerly wanted to study, but her family’s financial state wouldn’t allow her.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Still, she tried to join one of the Wings. However, she just wasn’t good enough for them.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Poor Anya was struggling to figure out what to do next, she even considered ending it all as a last resort. That was until she received a letter from a Wing.SYSTEM:SHOW_EXDIAG: "Dear Ms. Anastasia,"Hokma(Id: 'hokma')A letter that had a simple, yet magical line penned to it.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')“You are qualified to join Lobotomy Corporation.”Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Awestruck, Anya read through the letter over and over again.SYSTEM:hide_exdiagHokma(Id: 'hokma')It didn’t seem like anyone was pulling a prank on her, nor that it was a mistake on the mail courier’s part.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')For a brief moment, Anya wondered if she even applied to work at Lobotomy Corporation at all.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')But she soon shook that thought off. That was not important in the slightest.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')I took the role of the courier. I was the one who delivered the letters to people.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')I evaluate candidates to determine if they may join here or not, and bring a miracle to those who are qualified.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Anya was not selected because she had “excellent skill”.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')She had a common trait that every person we hired had, but wasn’t aware of.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')As you know, to become a feather, a part of the Wing, one has to be immensely better than ordinary people.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')How could Anya, who dropped out of high school, had no special talents, and lived in the Backstreets, manage to get into our company?Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Would her family finally be able to pursue happiness?Hokma(Id: 'hokma')All of this happened ten years ago.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')During those ten years, her sister fell ill and passed away, along with her parents.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Where is Anya now, with her entire family gone?Hokma(Id: 'hokma')She is asleep down here.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')It is wholly under my jurisdiction to handle this, but I’ll grant you access just this once.SYSTEM: Play SOUND: 'noise'SYSTEM: Play BGM: '8- Dark Fantasy Studio- Shadow tunnel'SYSTEM:add_filter ( filter: 'nightvision3' )SYSTEM:add_filter ( filter: 'super_computer1' )SYSTEM:add_filter ( filter: 'tv_arcade2' )Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Call her up, please.Invoke her.SYSTEM: Play SOUND: 'changenoise'SYSTEM:add_filter ( filter: 'tv_distorted_fade' )SYSTEM:wait ( time: '1' )SYSTEM:remove_filter ( filter: 'tv_distorted_fade' )Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Now Anya is at work, feeling like she is a brand new employee who just joined the company. Completely oblivious to the fact that it has been ten years since she actually joined us.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')You could, perhaps, choose to pay a small cost to augment her virtues such as Fortitude or Prudence, if you wish.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Now, try to erase her, please.Clear her away.SYSTEM: Play SOUND: 'changenoise'SYSTEM: Stop BGMSYSTEM: Play SOUND: 'SFX Game Over Scream'SYSTEM:add_filter ( filter: 'tv_distorted_fade' )SYSTEM:wait ( time: '1' )SYSTEM:remove_filter ( filter: 'tv_distorted_fade' )SYSTEM:remove_filter ( filter: 'super_computer1' )SYSTEM:remove_filter ( filter: 'tv_arcade2' )SYSTEM:remove_filter ( filter: 'nightvision3' )SYSTEM: Play BGM: '18- Dark Fantasy Studio- Reaper'Hokma(Id: 'hokma')How do you feel?Hokma(Id: 'hokma')The Anya who was killed by a monster, and that Anya whom you just erased are one and the same. They both evanescently lost their lives.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')It is such a futile action, to wake them and erase them to slumber, again and again.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Both your attachment to the employees, and the Sephirot’s care and devotion poured into them, become meaningless here.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Everything that moves and is alive in this facility is on pause.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')They await the next morning with their eyes shut tight every night.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Those of the layers above did not know that. They spent themselves emotionally for the deaths with which they were presented.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')Bearing obscure resentment in their hearts, they put all the blame on those like you, then they crumbled, just like that...Hokma(Id: 'hokma')I urge you not to worry about me, I will not dare to do such a thing.Hokma(Id: 'hokma')I have always wanted to be an important part of your life.
